This compact handbook is appropriate for such courses as Design I, Two-dimensional Design, Introduction to Studio Art, Studio Fundamentals, Art Appreciation, and Introductory Art Theory.
Built around a glossary which contains terms drawn from both studio and theory, Design Essentials gives students a shared vocabulary and articulates the attitudes required for successful development as artists and designers, while providing faculty with a backdrop for presenting courses of their own design. The three part structure—from the creative process through critique and analysis—establishes the context for effective study, provides a basis for shared learning, and offers practical guidance to professors and students. This lean and practical text gives students the essential conceptual tools to make the most of their foundation studies in art and design.
